MURDER victim Ffion Roberts received calls on her mobile phone on her last night alive which had upset her, a jury heard yesterday.

When a friend last saw the 22-year-old as she walked home alone to Porthmadog, Gwynedd, she was looking at it constantly “as though pre-occupied,” one witness said at Caernarfon Crown Court.

Iestyn Davies, 54, a wool packer, denies a charge of murdering Ffion, whose body was found in a drainage ditch in her home town last April. She had been strangled with her own scarf and drowned, according to the prosecution.

The jury heard from several party-goers who had joined a double birthday celebration at two pubs at Tremadog which Ffion had attended.

Nia Jones, who had known her from school, said that in the Union pub Ffion had received a number of phone calls believed to have been from her brother Elgan Roberts, 21. She recalled Ffion having responded in Welsh to a second call, saying: “Shut up, you’re acting like a child and don’t be so stupid.”
